Serum proteins in lymphogranuloma venereum

ABSTRACT

Acute cases of L.G.V. showed a moderately raised serum globulin - mean 3.95gm. per 100 ml. (normal mean 3.37 gm. per 100 ml.). Chronic cases showed greatly raised serum globulin - mean 5.61 gm. per 100 ml. - with a depression of albumin - mean 2.95 gm. per 100 ml. (normal 3.86 gm. per 100 ml.) - and elevation of total protein - mean 8.05 gm. per 100 ml. (normal 7.24 gm. per 100 ml.) The relationship of antibody titre to serum globulin, and the effect of serum globulin on plasma volume are being investigated (AU)
